Croatia is no aggressor - Serbia is, says Croatian president

Instead, Grabar-Kitarovic continued, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) were "attacked by Milosevic's Serbia" and "the so-called JNA (Yugoslav People's Army)" - and these, according to her, are "notorious facts."

"As Croatia's president, my clear and unequivocal message is that yesterday in The Hague, judgment was not being passed against Croatia or the Croatian people. Croatia is not an aggressor, instead it did the most for BiH's survival and integrity, while the Croatian people were the first to resist the Greater Serbia aggression by defending their independence," she said.
